Mine are just planted this year, and wonderful. Big berries, excellent taste, firm unlike most yellows. I'm impressed. I have only found ants on blackberries. But it's that time of year they go kinda crazy.

I still have two yellow cultivars to test, Honey Queen and Cascade Gold. Cascade is unusual in that it is a June bearing cultivar. Super hardy 7 foot canes.
Fall Gold seems steady. Often described as sweet, but mine are quite tart, and I love them! Maybe Kiwi Gold does have problems as it seemed to have been dropped from most nurseries. But that doesn't mean anything. Many of the best peaches from Scott's evaluation are not available either. Kiwi Gold is a sport of Heritage. It could be called Heritage Gold. So i suspect it behaves much like Heritage, afterall that was it is. Anne seems to be the leader, but many commercial producers are dropping it due to it's lack luster performance, and sun burn problems. The berry itself is excellent. So far though my fav is still Fall Gold for it's full flavor. I need a lot more time though to see how these plants perform long term. So far all are decent IMHO.

Kiwigold is no longer available from any US source I am aware of. I had it growing at one time and will say it was one of the prettiest colored raspberries around though they were a little on the tart side compared to fallgold or anne. I still enjoyed them and they were very good processed. Kiwigold was more orange in color compared to the other "yellow" varieties and was quite showy. A good seller at market.

My Kiwi gold are more orange than yellow or golden in color. They turn a light to medium 'melon' color. They are not bright orange as they have the regular 'frosted' matte look as most raspberries do. Mrs. G

The only place I have been able to find them mail order is at American Meadows. I ordered two for 2013 spring shipment and only one of the two came out of dormancy. Anyone know how their replacement policy is?

Yes they do look orange when compared to Anne or Fall Gold. Currently I'm harvesting all three. Honey Queen is even more orange when ripe. Konrad posted a photo of them in another thread.
Even if not perfect some good features, like they are very upright, Anne and Fall Gold are not. They seem more vigorous too. May make a good parent for a cross.
update:
I pick my berries every morning, I tend not to let berries ever become over ripe. Except many on the weekends when I leave for a couple days. Anyway when looking at Anne, Fall Gold and Kiwi Gold in my picking container, Kiwi is a deeper yellow, not orange. I have only picked about 10 berries from Kiwi, so many another day on the cane they would change to a deeper color. But they are ripe and not orange.
It may be the line these came from? The plant is distinct looking with darker, more rounded leaves, and an upright stature. Very unlike the other yellows. I'm very pleased with it. I want to make some of my own crosses, and this looks like a good parent to use.
